ADempiere and JasperReport integration upgraded to JasperReports-4.5.1

Recently in ADempiere forums we had a question how to upgrade JasperReport engine used in ADempiere to the newest version 4.5.1.

From developers point of view it is quite easy. Developer just need to update JasperReport jar file. In order to be more precise and helpful to the non technical users i have documented all steps:
1) Download newest version of JasperReports and iReport
2) Get ADempiere sources
3) In ADempiere source tree( just one file: JasperReports/build.xml) replace old version of jasperreports-3.7.3.jar with the newest jasperreports-4.5.1.jar
4) Start ADempiere build process(utils_dev/RUN_build.sh) 
5) Do not forget to apply latest ADempiere patches!

As we can see this are just 5 simple steps, but in case you do not have time to setup ADempiere source and build it, i have published ADempiere-3.6.0 with JasperReport-4.5.1 for you.

Enjoy!

Hello Trifon,
Have you ever worked with codebars in JasperReports in adempiere?
I use it in a report with JasperReports-4.1.1 and it works fine when I run it from eclipse but when I run it from the compiled the reports fails to show.

thanks in advance from venezuela.

ADempiere DVD by Trifon Trifonov

Today's Enterprise software, particularly ERP-CRM is quite complex for use and administration. The same applies for sources and setup of workspace and build. Quite often in forums of ADempiere ERP-CRM we see complains that setup of development environment is complicated and labour extensive. Many times developers spend 2-3 days trying to setup workspace without result and post desperate messages in forums asking for assistance. In order to decrease time spent for setup i created ADempiere DVD which contains all ADempiere sources, Eclipse IDE and Sun JDK. All properly setuped and ready for use. Developer only need to copy one directory to his local hard drive and start customizing and extending ADempiere ERP-CRM suite. Currently there are two editions available: for Windows and Linux Operating systems. Trifon Trifonov

Compiere - Beginning of the end!

Compiere Inc. has very strange understandings for free: http://compiere.com/support/service-packs.php Is there a charge for downloading these service packs? The Service Pack is free of charge for customers on Standard and Extended level support subscriptions. For 2.6.3, the Service Pack is also available to customers on Self-service Support Subscriptions at no charge. Acording to the post all is free, but user must have subscription... We at ADempiere are totaly free as our migration and bug fixes which are more than 500 till now are free even for non subscribed users. One big THANK YOU to Compiere Inc. for leaving the battle field OPEN SOURCE to ADempiere and other forks. Trifon Trifonov

Compiere Inc. still do not know how to make developer friendly environment

I work with Compiere and it's fork Adempiere since 2.5 years. During all this years till Adempiere was born i had big headache each time new version was produced by Compiere Inc. because of the lack of proper Eclipse IDE setting. I had to manually set project setting inside Eclipse for all Compiere ERP-CRM sub-projects. This process took around 1-2 hours if all source files were provided by Compiere Inc. There were cases when Compiere Inc. forgot for given class and source were non-compilable. A recent post from Enrique Ruibal reminded me about this past headaches: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4679608 Adempiere() is much more mature and developer friendly project. At least i'm trying to keep all IDE setting up to date and working. Good luck
